Alton Bay Ice Runway ( B18 ) news

upthesaukee · 01-27-2018, 11:12 AM

From the airport manager on the Alton Bay Seaplane Base and Ice Runway page. Please note that signs are out warning all about the airport, and the yellow cones and red cones marking the runway boundaries are, and have been, in place, just waiting for sufficient ice depth. Oh, but for the actions of a few.

Hi Everyone, Here is an up date on the Airport Runway conditions . We now have the thickness we were looking for and everything is marked out . But unfortunately despite our efforts to keep the Runway clear and parking area . Some one decided to go up and down the parking and runway when we had slush two days age after the rain with Snowmobiles and created ruts and grooves . That being said we will not be opening this weekend. Hopefully the warm temperatures Saturday and Sunday will help us smooth it out . There’s enough room for everyone. Please help by keeping off the marked areas thank you all.

Paul and his dedicated crew get no money from the town, state, or FAA. The FAA does provide the runway marking yellow cones. It is a true labor of love.
